Chapter 728: Not Just One Individual
In Tianling Mountain, there’s a mountain tyrant named Lin Nuo, who has bothered all sorts of spirit dogs, spirit wolves, and spirit tigers.
Every spirit beast dares to be angry but not to fight; they can only occasionally bark, avoiding him at all costs.
Inside the Zhi Shu Ge, there’s a cat with spirit, which has even called him a “dog.”
The sound of gongs has become a nightmare for the spirit dogs. Just as they were having sweet dreams, a sudden clang of the gong startled them, making them yelp in fear, grinding their teeth but not daring to bark loudly or rush forward to bite.
Their companions have tried, only to be pinned down and rubbed, leaving even the dogs dumbfounded.
Instead of cultivating in Tianling Mountain, disturbing the spirit dogs’ rest—how idle can one be?
“Who’s that person?”
Zhang Yuanxu pointed at Lin Nuo and asked.
“That kid is Lin Nuo, disciple of Han Fairy.”
“Lin Nuo? The one who has rapidly improved and achieved many feats in recent years?”
“Not that impressive; it’s all exaggerated, to say the least… When it comes to potential, Xie Yu is actually better.”
Master Cong would never acknowledge Lin Nuo; he didn’t hold any respect for the crew of Han Fairy.
“Is that so? But he doesn’t look like someone who could achieve so much.”
“Right? It’s all nonsense; surely it’s exaggerated.”
“Enough, we’ll talk about this later, let’s go.”
With that, Zhang Yuanxu and the others moved on, a group surrounding Zhang Yuanxu, and when Lin Nuo saw this, he thought they were like a star’s bodyguard squad. Besides, that person wasn’t even a beautiful girl.
The spirit dog was still gnashing its teeth at Lin Nuo, letting out a low growl, feeling an urge to bite him but just ended up barking.
Lin Nuo tossed the gong aside and pulled out dog food from his pocket.
This was real dog food, edible.
He then threw it to the spirit dog, which looked at it and hesitated.
It was debating if it should eat.
How could such a detestable person’s food be eaten? Even if it had to jump off a cliff, it wouldn’t touch a bit of his food!
In the end, it still ate.
So delicious.
The spirit dog had to admit, this dog food was genuinely tasty.
Of course, it was specifically formulated beast food by Lin Nuo, suitable not only for spirit dogs but for other spirit beasts as well.
This stuff worked wonders; sometimes with the right herbs mixed in, it could leave spirit beasts dumbfounded. As an outstanding villain, he had all sorts of cunning tricks up his sleeve.
Alright, this spirit dog was enjoying the food to the fullest.
Lin Nuo picked up the gong again and slowly approached the spirit dog.
He struck it again.
Duang!
The spirit dog jumped in shock; when it came to the correct usage of beast food, it scared the dog.
“Young Master, Young Master, please don’t frighten it anymore; look, it’s trembling all over.”
Ruo’er rushed over, quickly soothing the frightened spirit dog, as she could communicate with spirit beasts and heard what the dog was cursing Lin Nuo.
“Young Master is a good person; no badmouthing him.”
Ruo’er patted the spirit dog’s head, and it started to calm down, lying down and licking Ruo’er’s face with its little tongue.
“I’m training it; it has no emergency response ability at all. Just a bang on the gong, and it’s scared silly. You’re a spirit dog, and even the dogs at the gates of the sect have more guts than you.”
Lin Nuo said seriously, claiming it was training when, in fact, he was just having fun.
Then Ruo’er communicated with the spirit dog, explaining that Lin Nuo was just trying to help it improve, making the dog believe her nonsensical words.
Instantly, Lin Nuo gained a mighty image of someone who cared deeply.
“Young Master, there are many disciples surrounding that uncle. Did a guest arrive?”
Ruo’er asked, pointing with her chin.
“Not a guest, just an old sly fox from the Xuanyun Sect.”
Lin Nuo replied casually.
“Ah? Old sly fox? What’s that?”
Ruo’er was puzzled by the strange term.
“Anyway, you’ll understand; he is originally from the Xuanyun Sect but has been out for a while; his reputation is quite something.”
Lin Nuo said, secretly chuckling at the retreating crowd.
Well, although many things happened midway, the matter still came.
Framing, pursuit, escape—those can roll away!
“Oh, seems to be a highly revered teacher.”
“Indeed, highly revered.”
Lin Nuo smiled; who could teach Master Cong? What do you think that could be?
I suggest writing a book titled “Highly Revered.”
“Young Master, Young Master, I made you a delicious bento!”
Ruo’er learned a new word from Lin Nuo—bento.
It’s packed rice and various dishes for easy carrying.
“Here, Young Master, ah~ oh, no, it should be, Onii-chan, ah~”
“It’s not…”
Lin Nuo’s awkwardness kicked in, reminiscing how he had taught Ruo’er to say such things.
Goodness, the concentration of two-dimensionality is a bit high!
“Just call me Young Master; no other titles.”
“Um… wasn’t it Young Master who said he liked it?”
“People change; I don’t like it anymore.”
“Um… then fine, Young Master, come on, ah~”
Ruo’er was about to hand the dishes to Lin Nuo, but he rejected:
“I’ll get it myself.”
“No way, no way! I’ll feed you, that’s what a maid is supposed to do~”
“That’s not necessary.”
“C’mon, c’mon! Let Ruo’er feed you~ You must be tired holding your chopsticks~”
“It’s not…”
Ruo’er shoved the chopsticks into Lin Nuo’s hands, and he was forced to take a bite.
So good, not too hot.
“More, more~”
Ruo’er handed it over again, and Lin Nuo, having tasted the sweetness, found his resistance lessening.
The spirit dog looked on, crying; this crushing dog food stuffed it to the brim, a tragic sight.
“Lin Nuo.”
In an instant, Lin Nuo heard a chilling voice, startling him as he nearly choked.
Reflexively, hearing her voice felt ominous.
Ruo’er immediately became alert, as if to protect her food; she quickly lunged at Lin Nuo while raising her tail defensively.
“You’re dining, please don’t interrupt.”
“Ruo’er, I won’t argue with you much. I need to talk to Lin Nuo about something.”
Saying that, Qin Shili’s gaze shifted to Lin Nuo,
“Lin Nuo, come here, I have urgent matters.”
Lin Nuo seemed to know what she wanted and felt the need to talk to her.
“Ruo’er, let go for a moment; I need to consult her.”
“Um… Young Master…”
“Later, we’ll eat together; maids should obey orders.”
“Um… okay…”
Ruo’er released him, and then Lin Nuo went aside with Qin Shili for a serious discussion.
“Lin Nuo, there are increasingly more demon enthusiasts in the world, and among them, not all are benevolent cultivators. I feel Xuanyun Sect might need to investigate.”
“Be confident; drop the ‘might’.”
“Then they will investigate. What about me? While it may not seem apparent, I suspect if Xuanyun Sect investigates, it’ll undoubtedly cause exposure.”
“Not going to be exposed.”
“Mm? Do you have methods to conceal yourself?”
“Don’t worry; the Xuanyun Sect has more than just you in contact with the devils.”
“Right, that’s you.”
“Besides me.”
Lin Nuo smiled coldly.
